How do you take them off the stove? Do you use oven mitts or some other instrument? How well are the wooden bases made/work?

I wipe a little sesame or olive oil on them with a paper towel and put them on a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven at 375 to 400 degrees, and then handle them with oven mitts. Don't bake them any higher the oil will start to smoke. The wooden bases hold up very nice, iterated them with a little bit of oil when I first got the bowls. The bowls do turn black with age and if seasoned right are non stick.

The handles on the pans stay cool enough to touch with bare hands, but we generally use a pot holder or mitt when removing a lid when the pan is on the stovetop. Hope this helps ...

Use a fork lightly but is best to use non metal so u won't scratch the surface. They are great to cook with and heat up fast

I believe I saw something on the box or directions inside the box that say not to use on stove or oven. It's frustrating, as two or three of the pieces look like you can cook with them. I sent a message to Step2, but did not get an answer. Sorry.

Just use an SOS pad or a cleanser such as Comet. I have burned things in the past and have found they release really well if you boil water in the same pan and then gently pry up the burned stuff with a Teflon utencil.

When they come out of the oven, you have to lay a book or something heavy on the because they are rounded. They look like they are made out of ceranic but not shiny. I make pins for lodge every year with, it works great for me. If you want any holes in them you have to do it before its baked. Hope this helps.

They are rated up to 450 degrees, but I never leave them on in the oven. I think you would still need potholders to pick up the pan. These are excellent for stove top cooking.

The only way that this could possibly be dangerous is that the pans are hot when you take them out of the oven. Other than a burn, I can't imagine anyway that this could be dangerous. So, NO!! It's not dangerous.

I think the people at Lodge ought to start using cast iron cookware, instead of making stuff up. I wouldn't Pam it or oil it once it's seasoned. That is the point of being seasoned. Besides, oil sitting in a pan? Yuck. Nasty. Just use olive oil or something when you go to cook. It's not rocket science. And if you hate my soap and water idea, just clean it with hot water. But dry it on the fire before putting away. It needs to be DRY not oiled.

Use cooking spray liberally. That being said, I have burnt food in them and the cleanup is not terribly bad

These have worked in the gas oven we use, however they do get very hot and are small, so getting them out of the hot oven is cumbersome using hot mats or oven glove. I suggest have them sitting on a larger pan while moving them or cooking in the oven i.e., pizza pan to be safer with hot cookware. LC

you can pull hot item out of the oven with these. I use two for each side but make sure the holes are not lined up

Definitely. They are made of hard black plastic that encases metal handles on most items. Heat from normal stove top cooking does not effect them nor are they effected by the heat of a dishwasher set on high heat. The plastic does not conduct heat so I have found them to be easy to use without oven mitts (though I do not recommend this). I have not, and would not, put them in an oven without checking the Revere ware website since the packaging says nothing about this that I could find. I also know from experience that they are incredibly durable. I hope this helps! Good luck!

I've all ways burned wood in the stove. There is no need for a base. I've used it on wooden and plastic picnic tables with no issues. I've even left a sheet of paper under it just to see if it would get hot enough to ignite and it did not. If you are using wood as your heat source just make sure not to over fill it, you don't need a lot.

I think they are somewhat bulky, but I have not had any trouble grasping a pot or pan out of the oven with them. They are not stiff. You could also try the Ove Glove...it's like a glove, not a mitten and that handles the heat well also.

Hubby has, but I worry about the plastic feet on the product. It didn't hurt them at all, but our stove top burners may be closer together than yours too. Poor kitty ;-(

Companies make oven mitts from silicone. I would try it. Some cooking spray to make sure the brain comes out easily.
